    Digital Literacy and Citizenship in the 21st Century Educating, Empowering, and Protecting America’s Kids A Common Sense Media White Paper March 2011 / Common Sense Media Adults may see it as digital life – but to kids, it’s “just life.” Welcome to their world. » 93% of kids 12 to 17 are online 1 » More than 35 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute 2 » A majority of teens view their cell phone as the key to their social life 3 » If Facebook were a country, it would be the third most populous in the world 4 1 Pew Internet and American Life Project, “Generations Online in 2009.” 2 YouTube Blog, “Great Scott!

What Is Digital Life? Digital life describes the media world that our kids inhabit 24/7 – online, on mobile phones and other devices, and anywhere media is displayed. By definition, digital media is participatory. Users can create content, and anything created in this digital life becomes instantly replicable and viewable by vast invisible audiences. Kids use digital media to socialize, do their homework, express themselves, and connect to the world. New technologies give our kids unprecedented powers of creation and communication, making the world more accessible at earlier and earlier ages. The Need for Digital Literacy and Citizenship This dynamic new world requires new comprehension and communication skills – as well as new codes of conduct – to ensure that these powerful media and technologies are used responsibly and ethically.

  • Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Implementation of the Child Safe Viewing Act; MB Docket No. 09-26 Examination of Parental Control Technologies for Video or Audio Programming REPLY COMMENTS OF MICROSOFT CORP. Microsoft Corp. takes this opportunity to address two issues raised in the comments filed in the above-captioned proceeding. First, the vast majority of commenters have addressed programming comparable to that provided by broadcast television, underscoring that this proceeding should focus on the technologies available to parents to control access to traditional television programming. Second, as described in its opening comments, Microsoft takes very seriously the goal of protecting children from content their parents deem inappropriate.1 In that spirit, Microsoft seeks to clarify Common Sense Media’s description of certain Xbox functionalities. As Microsoft has explained, the Commission should limit its inquiry under the Child Safe Viewing Act (“CSVA”) to programming that is comparable to that provided by a broadcast television station rather than any other content that potentially could be displayed on a video screen.2 The record confirms that this is the appropriate scope for the Commission’s report. Numerous commenters ranging from concerned parents, to video programmers and distributors, to public interest groups, to technology companies 1 See generally Comments of Microsoft Corp. (filed April 16, 2009) (“Microsoft Comments”). 2 See id. at 3-4 . have addressed content that

    1Gary Middle College 21st Century Charter School at Gary GEO Next Generation High School-Indianapolis COVID-19 Fall 2021 Learning/Reopening Plan Integrated ESSER III Plan DRAFT – for public comment Email comments to: [email protected] Date of Last Update: May 27, 2021 Summary All Indiana GEO Academies have implemented a robust plan for faculty, students and families to return to in person school for the 2021-2022 school year. You can't have a full recovery without full-strength schools. Increased vaccination opportunities combined with unfortunate learning loss, as documented by 2020-2021 assessment results, prove the need and the ability for the return to in-person education. However, GEO Academies also acknowledge that some families found virtual learning to be the best option for their students, and therefore we will also offer a virtual option - with certain provisions - for those families that found virtual learning to be a success. This plan was designed using all information currently available from the Indiana State Department of Health, the Indiana Department of Education, and the Center for Disease Control; however, it is subject to change at any time. STAKEHOLDER INPUT: ● In an effort to capture the input and needs of our families, a survey was administered that provided the district with an understanding of the preferred learning environment for the 2021-2022 school year. This survey is in addition to the outreach that was conducted from each school which included; calls, emails, Facebook Live sessions, and Parent Universities. The results from the survey revealed that the majority of families are ready to return to in- person instruction with a very small percentage wanting to remain fully virtual.
